What is a Hermitage?
|
|
A hermitage is a holy dwelling place, a simple but comfortable prayer cabin
that enables those on retreat from the burdens of everyday life to be more fully
attentive to the Presence of God.
Pacem's 16 hermitages are nestled
carefully into the woods amidst the beauty of the natural environment to ensure
the quiet and solitude of each hermit guest on retreat.
Each
hermitage is named in honor of a patron saint whose extraordinary life
story gives witness to a life of faith and inspiration to those who are on their
own spiritual journey. We invite these holy patrons to join with us in prayer as
we hold each hermit guest before the altar of God.
As you enter your
hermitage retreat experience, you also share in all the prayers and preparations
of those living "saints" who have stayed and prayed in the hermitage before you.
In turn, you will become a part of the next person's visit, as you prayerfully
prepare the hermitage for the next hermit.
